Learn how to make soft, flavorful sourdough hamburger buns from scratch in this hands-on baking class. We’ll walk through the entire process — from mixing and fermentation to shaping, proofing, and baking — so you can confidently recreate them at home. These buns are naturally leavened with sourdough starter, giving them exceptional flavor, better texture, and improved digestibility. You’ll learn how to achieve a tender crumb, golden exterior, and that perfect structure sturdy enough for burgers yet soft enough for every bite. We’ll also cover timing, fermentation tips, and how to adapt the dough for hot dog buns or sandwich rolls. By the end of class, you’ll understand the techniques behind consistently beautiful, bakery-quality sourdough buns — made with simple, wholesome ingredients.
